A high-ranking member of the Barows faction and the husband of Princess Fahlzram, Kauss was not loved among the people. It was often said the only good thing that came from Fahlzram and Kauss's reign were Arshtat and Sialeeds. Kauss was among the many people assassinated by Nether Gate during the civil war for the throne between Fahlzram and Shahrewar. - Matt620
